“Very light weight and extremely simple set up. No batteries to change and best of all, no wires! I teach 9 fitness classes per week and this mic is clear sounding and reliable. This is my second Airline Micro. I ordered this new one because of the FCC new rules. I wear a head band to keep it securely on my head while I teach various fitness classes.”

“I've used the Airline 77 for nearly 12 years until recently with the latest frequency change and with that the redesign of the headset. I like the earset so far. There's been a bit of a learning curve. I'm still trying to tweak the gain so that don't get feedback. I love that it's so light and I don't have to hold it in position when I do floor work.”

“I teach dance fitness classes which involve high impact and lots of sweat. I bought this as a replacement for my old Samson 77 wireless system, where I had to replace the headset every 12-18 months due to sweat. I was interesting in trying this microphone as it had a smaller earpiece and a lower price, and I needed to buy a whole new K frequency anyway. So far I've been satisfied. I was surprised at how well it stays in my ear and I like how it is more lightweight than my old one, which wasn't even very bulky. I had this new one for a few weeks without any sound problems, then suddenly it would cut in and out with lots of feedback about halfway into my hour-long class. This lasted for about a week but it has now stopped doing that and the sound quality is again clear and consistent throughout class. I'm hoping I can get at least a year of use out of it (about 5 hours/week) before I have to replace the earpiece.”

“I have only used it 4 times, but it seems like a good mic. I am still trying to get used to not having a corded mic - I am surprised how well it actually stays put on the ear.”

“I have purchased this for when I teach indoor cycling. I carry my own mics to use because I can ensure my mic is germ free and operational. Gym microphones go through so much use, and because they're not cleaned very often, you can get sick from other instructors, or be handed a sweat drenched mic that was used by the previous instructor. My previous Airline 77s were getting waterlogged from sweat, and over time the switches and the circuit boards were getting drenched despite using the included sweat guard. I spent lots of money replacing the headset every 18 months. The Samson Airline Micro was such a better mic. After following the directions for use and learning about the gain controls, I used this mic for my classes. It's much lighter in weight than the Airline 77, and is easy to pack and carry because it has it's own case. The mic sounds great too! The battery for the transmitter and receiver are rechargeable, and if you have no power outlet for the receiver, you can get through a class or presentation using the battery on the receiver and still have adequate input to your sound console. The receiver can easily plug in to any system with a 1/4 inch balanced mic input, and doesn't need an XLR input. While I had the original headset from the first version of this mic, the earpiece didn't hold up. I had replaced the headset only, and the newer versions of the earpiece worked so much better, and I didn't have to bend it to fit as the previous version. I simply clipped it to my ear, and it held on for the entire class. To further test it, I did a few somersaults and cartwheels with the mic on (after class of course!), and the mic stayed on my ear! So beyond indoor cycling, I know this would work for other physically active classes. The mic is lightweight, and you forget it's there. It also holds up to sweat! All in all, the mic is rechargeable, lasts long, and has fit the bill for teaching my classes.”

“I'm loving this mic system. I teach Jazzercise 4X's a week, and after trying out several mics I finally purchased this one, and I'm so glad I did. I don't even notice I'm wearing a mic, it stays put, and I love how compact it is. It comes with a safety carrying case that easily fits in my purse when I head out the door to teach class. Great sound quality, and I no longer have to purchase disposable batteries. Price point is definitely worth it...highly recommend!”
